Curtain Call is a track off of the 2013 Wild Bells album, shot by Eric Maxen for their successful Kickstarter campaign to fund the recording of their debut album. Video edited by Pete Ficht.

“The weird thing about this video is that we really only focused on filming the long outro of the song for the Kickstarter video. I wanted to make a full video and I had to pull some of the early shots from when we were just fooling around, including a pan around my basement. That may explain some of the weird footage!” - Pete

“My old college buddy Ric visited Portland for a couple days from Chicago. Since we both had a background in comedy and theater, I told him we were going to shoot a video in 4 hours, making it up as we went along. As you can see, Ric rose to the occasion. It was a blast!” - Pete

“I co-founded AM Clouds with Bruce Moon when I lived in Bend, during the years of 2016-2020. We shot this, the title track of the Rainmaker album, in Bruce’s rehearsal space with a combination of iPhones and digital cameras. I had a lot of fun editing all the footage to make this. Not bad for a $0.00 budget!” - Pete

“I joined the legendary King Black Acid on keyboards for 2 years (1999-2000), just in time to play some keys on the Loves A Long Song record. By the time this video was shot, I had left the band and (future Wild Bell) Sean Farrell had to mime my parts! Many years later band leader Daniel Riddle did amazing work on both of the Wild Bells records.” - Pete
